Ingredients

Lemon-Herb Chicken

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Honey Mustard Balsamic Dressing

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper or to taste

Salad

4 cups mixed baby greens (packed)
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
6 large strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 ounces good-quality blue cheese
2 strips nitrate-free bacon, cooked until crisp crumbled
1 medium avocado pitted and sliced

Instructions

To prepare the Lemon-Herb Chicken:

Place the chicken in a bowl or shallow container.
Combine remaining ingredients in a measuring cup. Mix well, and pour over the chicken breasts. Turn to coat well. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight.
Heat the grill, and oil the grill grate. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
Set the chicken aside to cool. Slice into strips when cool

To prepare the Honey Mustard Balsamic Dressing

Combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a jar. Shake well to combine. Set aside until ready to use.

To prepare the salad:

Combine the salad greens, sliced eggs, strawberries, cheese, crumbled bacon, and avocado slices. Add the sliced chicken.
Pour the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds.
Portion the salad onto two plates and serve immediately.
